yes here in the Philippines, we have a very bad experience with Heli Forklifts. They do not have any spare parts support and after sales service which is common to Toyota Forklifts. I do not know with other countries if they experience the same. With regards to the design and model, its kinda lateNever Say Die! in every sale, life is at stake

It's nice to know that the competition are paying attention. Opus, see your Heli dealer, research what's in the truck, demo the truck and make up your own mind.

From my understanding, Heli is a decent unit...I've heard some good stories, some not so good stories but nothing extremly bad. I do recall reading in a prior newsletter that HELI ranked amongst the top 15 mfg in the world.

Really? wow!!! And what kind of magazine was it? Never recall reading a chinese manufacturer as top 15 manufacturing in the world. Maybe if you give the name of publication.Never Say Die! in every sale, life is at stake

Forkliftaction.com is the publication, Leobert! Heli is just behind Clark as the 15 largest manufacturer of forklifts in the World. Heli manufactured over 30,000 forklifts in 2005.JC

U.S. Modern Materials Handling magazine has issuing, usually in August, top 20 lift truck supplier. Anhui Heli appeared already in this list from 2003 ranking (published 2004Aug). MMH started this survey since 1992.

Nobody argue that the heli is not the best truck in the industry. But every truck has its own market. For some applications, Heli is a perfect fit. Keeping in mind enormous scale of china business, it will be quite painful for some manufacturers.

We used to be a dealer, some of the pnuematics were fair to average but the electrics are awfull. I would strongly suggest you research this thoroughly before you decide on purchasing it. If you do decide to buy one, buy an extra one to rob parts from.

Sorry Jim that ship has sailed, the last three units we have were slid into the rental fleet after the customers made us take them back.

Who did you buy the truck from? I guarantee that you did not buy them from Heli Canada.JC

I sold that brand three years ago. I had nothing but problems from overheating to wiring problems, transmission problems.

The after sales is really bad and the forklift too. If you don't believe go and buy one for you to experience it. After you buy pls. tell others too so that they will not repeat the same mistake.Never Say Die! in every sale, life is at stake

I´m surprised by the comments. Heli has been available in Argentina for 11 years. The first few years the transmission system gave problems. The engines mostly Isusu were always good. Now the quality is excellent the spare parts supprt no problem. They are selling very well with many repeat buyers. Todaqy they are a better price-quality combination than many of the traditional brands.
